@Leo Gura This is what makes your teaching/teachings very strong — you constantly try and see the flaws in your teachings, and see if you’ve missed something/you’re biased and you keep a very open mind. And there’s a more chill vibe in this community, not strictly student-teacher, but people can critique/challenge you and you take it in (as long as they’re sincere and not just trolls).

@Jannes I deeply appreciate the feedback!

@Ramasta9 I respectfully disagree that plant protein is more powerful than animal protein. Animal protein is significantly more bioavailable; our bodies recognize it more easily and can use it more efficiently. It’s interesting how humans have sought after and thrived on animal nutrition for thousands of years, but today it’s controversial to say it’s essential. So in my opinion we’re going in the right direction with these new guidelines. But, your body your choice!:)

@Yimpa Thanks Yimpa!

I made a video on my take on the pyramid: Bare with me I’m experimenting with YT and speaking in front of camera. Hopefully I’ll improve going forward.

@Jannes Yup haha, Southpark 'predicted' this food-pyramid-shift years ago!

Exactly. Einkorn, Emmer, and Spelt are all solid ancient wheat options. Modern diets are unfortunately built around very high gluten intake (bread, pasta, etc.). For me, switching pasta to white rice helped a lot, and replacing regular wheat bread with sourdough spelt bread had a big impact aswell.

@Leo Gura Why are you getting little outside Sun? Curious, how much time do you spend outside on a daily basis? (btw vit A you can get from liver)

Interesting to learn the behind-the-scenes mechanics of keeping a place like this clean. It’s easily taken for granted.

Looking forward!

@Jannes Ofcourse thats the beauty of the body - you listen to it and you regulate accordingly. If you’re eating quality real whole foods, the body will naturally signal when you’re full and you won’t overeat.

@PsychedelicEagle what do you mean pooing few times a day? Pooing once a day is enough. And no I’m not a carnivore and no I don’t track every calorie down to the smallest detail. I go by satiety and intuition, eating both meat, fish, rice, potatoes, bone broth, fruits, berries & some veggies here and there, and I’m perfectly healthy. And Yes saturated fat & cholesterol is crucial, I’m sorry if you have to follow an app & strict guidelines to track everything and dishonor your body’s signal for things like butter, animal fat, cheese & milk - all of which are some of the most delishious & nutritious foods that we humans naturally crave for a reason.

@Jannes I agree that a pyramid can be too simple, but it helps give a simple visual overview for the average person. I don't agree that plant protein sources are necessary, since they're not as bioavailable as animal protein and they're high in antinutrients like phytic acid and lectins that prevents your body from absorbing the nutrients. Soy in particular is high in phytoestrogens which disrupts hormonal balance and can impair testosterone production in men.

@PsychedelicEagle Saturated fats are essential for the development and long-term health of your body. But yes, the source is key. It must come from high quality sources (pasture raised/grass fed) such as eggs, butter, cheese, milk and animal tallow. These foods contain important bioavailable minerals and vitamins (like vitamin K2 & b-vitamins) that are crucial for all your bodily functions. The idea that saturated fat is bad is mostly based on flawed science, such as The 7 Countries Study by Ancel Keys, a study later proved to be false.

Fixing the pyramid is definitely a step in the right direction. And hopefully European countries will follow along (I’m from Denmark myself). Environmentally, it’s positive to focus on high quality meat from grassfed cows (one cow can feed an entire family for a year) or on eggs from pasture raised chickens, whereas it is much more tanking on the environment to produce greenwashed labmade meat, highly processed oils, highly processed foods or spray millions of crops with pesticides to make ‘greensmoothies’. We’ve been sold a lie that Cows are the problem. They’ve been here for thousands of years, and they aren’t the ones destroying the environment. We’re going in the right direction of emphasizing more real nutrition like meat, butter, eggs and milk.
